Quite a series of changes, that needs to be applied as soon as possible.
I think I should cut down alot on the time I spent rather aimlessly on the computer. To about 2 hours on the school days. Spend more times training and studying (more so studying), and knowing how to balance the time altogether. Probably 2hours of gym/normal training, at max. Shorter all the better. More socialising but studying with friends for sure. I would aim 3 hours of studying a day at least. Productive studying. Sleep early, wake up earlier, pay attention in class. Do homeworks, and practice alot.
I think there's nothing else to motivate you but yourself and yourself alone. That's the most powerful motivational tool you would ever need. Once you get that, its just how much effort you work towards your goals and all to get it all sorted out. I'm so gonna aim high for prelims, and maintain it throughout. But so far I have alot of work to do. I keep forgetting the past theories and practices that I've done, so need to keep doing to get it in my mind. Maybe my past results shows that I'm actually quite good but in actuality I'm not. And I hope I don't peak too early.
Music is seriously an addiction now. I suddenly got myself indulged in certain awesome new songs, but sadly my computer's (which is in a total wreck now) speaker is spoilt. And I can't transfer songs into my phone (which is pure sucky anyway). And I want to study with some music because its just so nice. Hope my computer would be repaired and every file and things remain fully intact. And get a new walkman phone, WOOTS.
FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE IS CURRENTLY ROCKING IT.
HIT THE LIGHTS COMES SECOND.
not forgetting all the rest. I'm starting to experience a change in my favourite genre. Drum and bass does not stood out like it did in the past anymore. INDIE ROCK.
Also, I think I'm closer to my friends now. Maybe just abit, but I think its much better then the times before. We shouldn't forget that they are one of the most important things in life, and we should cherish as much as we can now. Much less stumbling and awkwardness when talking to girls. But I should also need to know my limits when it comes to jokes and opening my mouth. Like accidentally blurting out something that shouldnt be told or being overly too bastard. YES.
OK haven't really gone into the training aspect.
My wrist is abit fucked for awhile, but its healing up I guess. Handstanding too much. ARgh. If I don't do, will feel guilty, if do, wrist pain, then guilty also. How confusing eh. Flips haven't improved too much, but I would think my frontflips are really good now. Yeah I think my trainings still abit impactful, and I lack control still in my SDC2P (like going down one especially). And I still need to give my full in each attempt, but learn not to overprepare yourself. Focus in all circumstances, still bailing unnecessarily and I want to cancel out all bails and even stupid impacted landings.
Bishan ytd was fun, but my shoe is seriously going to die. The area, maybe grippy, but still makes you slide like nothing, and the sound on each overly downwards catleaps on the walls is unforgiving to the ear, like slicing away 0.1mm of your soles each time round. I don't know really, I would hate to change my shoe as it havent even last for more then half a year yet and training at Bishan would inevitably means the tearing of soles. Should take care of my shoes more. On the brighter side, I nailed a larger cat2pre and also and SDC2P (finally). But trained abit too much, wasted alot of time with friends, something I must control now.
Gym training, muchly postponed and I doubt I would have time to have a routine or something as of now. But still would go to gym, just gonna make it short and sweet. It's going well at the moment, soon gonna work on front squat and deadlifts, pushing my bench press as well, I would think of a routine to peak somewhere around the O'levels period. Prelims and all coming right up this August, July would already be packed enough with practicals, O's listening and orals, and the 4 days jam with the UK guys, so there's really so much coming up. Planning a timetable for sure, getting myself all motivated.
I shouldnt spend anymore longer blogging, but be sure to read my "deeenester.blogspot.com" for more. AIK.

Records!
Just came back from jim, gotten myself two new personal records.
Let me update my PR list.
Personal Records (as of 19 June 2009)
Full squats - 92.5kg x 1rep
Pullups - 37.5kg x 1rep
Deadlifts - 85kg x 3reps
BenchPress - 60kg x 3reps
MilitaryPress - 40kg x3reps
Front Squats - 60kg x5reps
What happened today. I think I didn't do too well with the squats. I got the main aim of 90kg rather easy so I went to go for 92.5kg, which I think I can handle rather easily as well, so I didn't put my heart and soul to get it up as I know I would already be able to do it (overconfident, complacent, again). So just get down I thought I could got up easily, but no I didn't, it was a badly forced rep with rounded back and I was really unsatisfied with it. Was rather reckless knowing this as a 1rm test I should put my effort for solid form but no. Mimics a huge drop with horrible back rounding in the landing. 92.5kg, how come I am not realising that poor form would mean bad things. So lesson learnt AGAIN.
Nevermind about that. Thought I would give my proper all in a second try in order to make things up. Was alot better the second try. Proper form. So I would consider that as a proper PR. Pullups on the other hand, was on a much higher note. I got my first goal of 30kgx2 rep, then easily nailed 32.5kg, and 35kg was still submaximal. 37.5kg where I thought would be my final one, put all my effort into it, got it well. Was quite a good improvement from the last 28kgx3rep record.
Both records was good. Both showed good progression towards my main goal. 100kg squats (2plates) would be a goal to get by this year (if possible, 100kg for reps), and probably do 40kg pullups for a few reps is good enough. Need to do more OAC negative, something I never train at all... So I guess the next routine will be around August, final routine of the year. Probably should hit those goals at the end of the year. I'm nearing them in just half a year, so with enough hardwork I should easily get them with some time to spare. I hope. Lets not be too confident.
Deloading in the meantime. And before the new routine I would like to touch up on my benchpresses, frontskwats and alivelifts. Probably I want to get a new record for my deadlifts (3rm), should be easy, and front squats to 70kg. Slowly. Just get good frontsquatting form and benchpress, I think just maintain. Maintain all my lifts and go for reps and good form instead of heavier ones. Getting use to the weights now instead. Just make use of spare time to polish up everything. Train my lowerback. Power. All this so I can exceed squatting plateaus. I have no idea what to do for the next routine, so some research would be needed as well.
On the other hand.. movements.
I hope I get it. Ever since the huge SDC2P nailed at Chong Pang, I have always been finding bigger, further sdc2p to do as to push my limits. Same goes for most things. Then realising theres no biggie about getting big big stuffs. There's much more important things to go for rather then those. Rushing your way there wouldn't get your anywhere, the most just shortening the lifespan of your knees. So, its better not to. Also, I'm bored of just doing sdc, sdc and sdc. There are other more important stuffs to train for, and its just stupid to train on one thing.
As human, we are all entitled to changes. In the past, its all about how wide a table can you dive kong over. Or dash. About what kind of vaults you can do, how high you can go. Then just abit of change, then all of sudden its climbups. Best climbups, fastest, straight armed climbups. The cleaner the better. Then you get to know more about PK. You know its not about climbups only. But I think the main craze is to get the further SDC now. It is like the traceur trademark, huge catpasses. At least that's what I see in Singapore, but I'm pretty sure other countries are, too. Quite alot of emphasis placed on SDCs. But nowadays, its all about strides and leg power, buildering as well, that is in the UK.
Gotta need to vary everything, not just SDC or wallpasses or far precisions. This includes flips and things, work on my weaknesses. I need to drill more on my control in my precisions and landings. Can't stick stuffs well, landings loud and uncontrolled. Still not used to rolls. So need more practice.
--------------
SUNDAY's update.
Yesterday training was quite good, went to Buangkok, and of course, loving the place.
That is, for peekaye. Flips are kinda fucked up, but I just need to keep drilling, I guess. My backflips are like, amazingly so hard for one who have gotten it for so long already. It just feels so weird. I hate my backs, but shouldn't dwell to much on it. Each bail means -20% of what I've learnt. Screw up the muscle memory so bad. Still can't get a soft landing on it. Sideflips are getting weird too. Travelling diagonally, flailing up in mid air, lost its touch and feel, and not getting the height I used to get. Don't know why. Need to fix it up.
On the brighter side, I've gotten a further running catleap (the one a buangkok) and a higher one (damedulac), was pretty happy with both achievements. Both shows the strength I've gained and better technique. My landings was good that day, and no bails (excluding flips I suppose). Only did one SDC2p for a change, haha. But on normal catleaps I seem to neglect the other leg, so placing too much force on one leg in a cat don't seem good. Still trying to get better landings and saves. I know the technique for you know those jump high and place two legs high on the top of the wall but not exactly precision. Just got to absorb it properly, stick to the wall awhile, then slide down and grab the wall.
As much as it seems repeated, and rather obvious, I need to drill my flips, place more priority on them rather then pk. Because I'm long satisfied with my pOrkcore and all I need is better flips. So more practice on them. Still having fear with them and taking a rather long time to prepare myself for it. Don't know whats with that. Lost my wallflip too I think, and my lache gainer is just rusty. I need alot more practice. I used to have solid flips quite some time ago, but not sure why, things just gone down the drain. Let's not think negatively, just practice and I'll get there. Let's hope to learn more with the aussies and brits come.
Went to gym today, first day of deloading, and my pullups was the main issue. I can't complete 3sets of 5 with 60%1rm. Maybe it is because I'm only good with strength not endurance. And I rely alot on my recovery. Like sometimes its good (when fresh), sometimes its sucks (when tired). On other exercises they are okay and rather consistent. Not for pullups. All my forms of exercise can be better, too.
Got school on Mon, Tues, Wed, from 8am-6pm. So I can only train my flips during the breaks I guess. Take a small 3 day break from the gym as well. Interaction time.
Should spend less time blogging.
Main thing now, is to think positively, and practice more flips.
Handstands here I come.

Twists and Turns
I'm just bored out.
This week isn't much of a good week.
Probably it is my mindset made it such.
I'm fell sick, couldn't train for today, slacking all the way. Can't exert any force on myself. Then the guilt of not training flips and handstands comes back. Internal conflict much. Was I lazy? Giving excuses such as I'm sick and weak. Or was I just listening to my body. Hopefully the latter. Still don't like the feeling though.
The next week would be pretty packed and I'm hoping it to be solid.
Routine's coming to an end, 3 more workouts. Time flies indeed, 5 weeks has flew past, 2 weeks of holidays are gone, but still not using time to any advantage. Everything will be getting tougher. Progressed in squats, so I hope I could finish up the last 2 main routines well. It's gonna be really hard but all the best to me. Pullups too. Then I remembered, I haven't been practicing OAC. Hope convenient it would be for a pullup bar at home. Too bad. And I seriously need to start training properly and not keep repeating the gloomy words here in my blog back-to-back each week.
Monday and Tuesday was just homeworking and just a 'rest' gym session. Was a good way to socialise more with friends. Finally got over the barrier, just gotta keep it up. Talking about homework, I better start doing some because there's no point slacking the day away, aimlessly surfing the net for god knows what reasons. I'm just too bored.
Wednesday was fucked. I thought of practicing abit of flips in school during break, was ok until one overrotated onelegged front caused me to bang into a pole. I also don't think of the consequences of bailing. I still bail quite often if I consider the small and stupid ones. So I couldn't go to gym because squatting would hurt my thigh. I just can't afford to bail, like why does it always happen. The feeling sucks. So slacked the whole day, and slept. Woke up to no good, mood spoiler and just wasn't a good day for me at all.
Thursday I achieved my 85kg x3x3 Squats relatively good and 26kgx3x3 pullups. Was a good workout day, satisfied alright. Went to Bishan straight after. Was fun and funny, trained abit and it was cool. But then, I felt I pushed myself just too much (to be honest I feel abit of knee pain when I went home). Like again, internal conflict, was feeling fucked about what happen yesterday, so wanted to vent it all out. Bishan was a shoe killer. But I nailed stuffs, mostly relating to tictacs. I still can't nail the sdc2lp at the first spot, my other leg is just inches below from the edge and I just can't put two legs up I don't know why. Should be able to nail them soon though.
Friday, went to swimming again with my friends. Was damn fun, slide was super shiok. Sengkang swimming complex. I suck at swimming so much but I felt progression. Started to be able to tread water but still struggling alot sometimes I'm kinda like struggling to survive while playing with my friends. Didn't train at all. Just handstands at night.
Saturday was ecp. Didn't train much too, just don't have much of a mood. I nailed a huge lache at the fitness corner but it could've been more controlled. Still have no guts to try a gainer, probably going to some condo's private swimming pool to attempt it. Roundoff back sucks I don't know whats so hard about it. I should practice my roundoff more. Then, after eating at burger king (spent nearly 8 bucks), went back to the blue rails spot. I bailed a sideflip there on concrete - shows how weak my flips are. Luckily nothing really happen, but just to know that I've bailed yet again really shows how unfocussed you are. What's more when you start to get more higher level, you just can't afford to bail. Need to start drilling flips alot, but I always do pk more then flips. Need self-discipline man. Then at night I felt that my head's heavy, which then I realize I'm feverish.
Seriously need to spend less and save up more. Just eat the most 4 dollars, would be good if its lesser. Eat simple, and proper. Don't keep succumbing to temptations for good oily, sugary food. You know you want to go to england soon, so you better start saving up, don't spend it anyhow.
My computer is fucked up and I can't use Vegas and neither can and copy and paste files. I just hope like please, that all my clips and songs will still intact when somebody repairs this computer. I must have those files, they are limited edition. I just can't lost it. I always live it to the last minute to save backups but then I'm always too lazy to do so. But once the computer gets fucked, I'll get fucked too. Hais..
Somehow all of my posts are all in negative light, never seem to be happy or what. Most of the time disappointed and criticising myself. Always thinking about the shortcomings, never focussing on the positive. Thats why I always ended up in a bad mood and thus a bad week. All having a negative influence to what's to come. Kind of contradictory because life should be lived in happiness. Should start being more positive.
Starting tomorrow.

Flips Progression: Stagnant?
Much.
Let me see. This week passed quite fast amazingly.
1st of June was my Olevel's Chinese and I'm mentally prepared to see fail grades - again. Not like its a very suprising thing to happen, especially when I don't seem to even give effort in bettering it. Or I could just blame myself of not being adept equally in both languages at the start. But, no point crying over spilt milk now, as its already over. I should then put more efforts in the other subjects now. Lets not be complacent either...
So after that I went on to train at the gym, which is my first workout of the second stage (intensification phase). Turned out really damn well and I'm happy with how it went. After that went to castle and train some more, but mostly slacking and refining flips...
The next day was slack, just studied out with friends, trying to socialise and stuffs.. finished out one of my maths homework.
Then wednesday, went for training again at the gym.. wasn't very good because was tired, so I don't know.
Thursday went to yishun to train. Nailed my furthest SDC2P. I'm not very sure about the no. of footsteps but its about 7 and its high to abit low. Kinda amazing the satisfaction that you get when you nail it. Rail precisions seems to be much better.. although the fear is still there.. kind of. I bailed a dash to pre, was like very reckless as I just went for it when I'm not fully sure I could. I kinda lost my dash pre technique, and I really need to retrain for it. Gotta work on that for sure. Also, still can't nail the DB wall, so my mood is kinda ruined.
Friday, I went to gym. Not too bad again, but I think the form can be better. Nonetheless my squats are have never been failing reps yet but pullups yes, although I made it this workout. So its all good. The next weeks are gonna be killers, though.
Saturday was the Tamp jam that I've been waiting for as I could finally see my friends which I admit, I haven't really met for some time. Was not a very bad day actually. I got my wallflip, which was a great achievement for the fact that I haven't nailed any new trick for a long time. My roundoff back is still kinda off but I'll train hard for it. Wallflip isnt really that hard but I still don't fully get the technique. And its still kinda scary, but easy. But my sideflip on flat is crap, inconsistency is bad... Other then flips, my peekay is not that bad actually, improvements. I could nail the running cat quite easily now and nailed the further one, although shoddy. The one on the rail was nailed too. I nailed the crane at tree garden, although wasn't very good, but still landed. So good achievements in terms of leg strength and peekay. So FLIPS ARE MAIN PRIORITY.
Sunday (today) went out and train. Train some runs at the beginning for fun. Was fun. Then time to flip. Got back wallflip not long after, but its just weird. I can only do it with two step run up. I tried on the other walls and fear striked into me as well. But I went forward to just whack a wallflip with a longer run up and I freaked out and bailed. I took me damn long to get it back again. Internal conflict, mind and body. About 30minutes of running to the wall and telling myself I can, then i finally got it back. Battle with fear, I'm not sure why did I get so scared right after that. I think too much. And I seriously hype and tensed myself up before every move. Seriously unnecessary. Thinking too much. Unlike PK. Sideflip was still bad and backflip still going forward. Seems like flips isnt the thing for me.. irritating.
Oh well. Not very good things goes as flips are concerned. Again, I'm not trianing properly. I just need to do the least of 5 to 10 'perfect-as-it-can-be' flips of each kinds everyday and thats it. But I'm not doing so. In fact, each training session is making my flips worse, because of bad muscle memory imprints. I shouldn't do runs at first today, making me tired and that'll cost the quality of my flips. Hais, no wonder flips are not improving. Even when I tell myself to jump up, I still don't, and sometimes I'll just freak out, making things worse. Flips, are hell.
My flips used to be quite good about 2months back. But because of the lack of practice, my flips suckened. I need to start practicing alot on my flips, just flips rather then pk.
Handstandings, something I must do everyday. So far in this week I did indeed practicing abit of them. But I should do it everyday. This computer is really something that I can't live without. I'm just damn addicted to it. I'm also not studying, neither am I homeworking.
I hope I can use my time more productively. This is somethign that is repeated ever so often in the blog, kinda the new repetition of the past "overpushing myself" saga, but still all these is due to the lack of self control. Sometimes I feel I spend alot of time blogging, because I got so distracted and can't complete it from the start.
Lets not talk to much and sum up my goals now.
- Flips practise - short and full effort in each flip, 30minutes or summat. As much as I can
- Handstanding - 15minutes at night for every night
- Start studying/homework - 2 hours daily for as much as I can in a week.
- Socialise with friends - but remember slow and steady.
- Stop tensing myself up or take too much time to prepare for a move.
- Keep everything safe - low impact and controlled and no bails.
Let me see. This week passed quite fast amazingly.
1st of June was my Olevel's Chinese and I'm mentally prepared to see fail grades - again. Not like its a very suprising thing to happen, especially when I don't seem to even give effort in bettering it. Or I could just blame myself of not being adept equally in both languages at the start. But, no point crying over spilt milk now, as its already over. I should then put more efforts in the other subjects now. Lets not be complacent either...
So after that I went on to train at the gym, which is my first workout of the second stage (intensification phase). Turned out really damn well and I'm happy with how it went. After that went to castle and train some more, but mostly slacking and refining flips...
The next day was slack, just studied out with friends, trying to socialise and stuffs.. finished out one of my maths homework.
Then wednesday, went for training again at the gym.. wasn't very good because was tired, so I don't know.
Thursday went to yishun to train. Nailed my furthest SDC2P. I'm not very sure about the no. of footsteps but its about 7 and its high to abit low. Kinda amazing the satisfaction that you get when you nail it. Rail precisions seems to be much better.. although the fear is still there.. kind of. I bailed a dash to pre, was like very reckless as I just went for it when I'm not fully sure I could. I kinda lost my dash pre technique, and I really need to retrain for it. Gotta work on that for sure. Also, still can't nail the DB wall, so my mood is kinda ruined.
Friday, I went to gym. Not too bad again, but I think the form can be better. Nonetheless my squats are have never been failing reps yet but pullups yes, although I made it this workout. So its all good. The next weeks are gonna be killers, though.
Saturday was the Tamp jam that I've been waiting for as I could finally see my friends which I admit, I haven't really met for some time. Was not a very bad day actually. I got my wallflip, which was a great achievement for the fact that I haven't nailed any new trick for a long time. My roundoff back is still kinda off but I'll train hard for it. Wallflip isnt really that hard but I still don't fully get the technique. And its still kinda scary, but easy. But my sideflip on flat is crap, inconsistency is bad... Other then flips, my peekay is not that bad actually, improvements. I could nail the running cat quite easily now and nailed the further one, although shoddy. The one on the rail was nailed too. I nailed the crane at tree garden, although wasn't very good, but still landed. So good achievements in terms of leg strength and peekay. So FLIPS ARE MAIN PRIORITY.
